Bushnell Elite 4500 1-4x24 Multi X

The Bushnell Elite 4500 1-4x24 Multi X is a variable power tactical riflescope engineered for rapid target acquisition across close to mid-range distances. Built on Bushnell's Elite platform, this 1-4x magnification scope combines the speed of a wide-field optic at 1x with the precision needed for extended engagements at 4x. The 24mm objective lens delivers solid light transmission without adding unnecessary weight, and the Multi X reticle provides fast aiming references across the full magnification range—critical for operators who transition between targets or ranges quickly.

At 1.44 lbs and measuring just 12 inches in length, this scope maintains a compact footprint suitable for AR platforms, carbines, and lightweight tactical rifles where mount height and balance matter. The variable power design allows shooters to operate at 1x for close-quarters work with both eyes open—standard in patrol and defensive scenarios—then dial up to 4x for precision work beyond 100 yards. The scope's 24mm bell diameter provides a solid sight picture while remaining compatible with standard tactical rings and mounts. The Multi X reticle is calibrated to function across the full magnification range, eliminating the loss of accuracy as you adjust power.

This scope suits law enforcement patrol rifles, home defense carbines, and tactical training applications where users need a true 1-4x variable rather than fixed optics or lower-magnification red dots. The combination of low magnification start point and moderate upper magnification makes it versatile across intermediate distances—the practical engagement zone for most rifle applications outside precision rifle roles. The Elite 4500 is particularly valued by shooters who prioritize speed and field of view without sacrificing magnified aiming capability for target confirmation or longer shots.

The 1-4x format occupies a distinct niche between non-magnified reflex sights and traditional 3-9x hunting scopes. Users gain magnification reach beyond a red dot while maintaining the close-range performance required in dynamic scenarios. The Bushnell Elite line is recognized for optical quality and durability in professional use, and the 4500 model delivers that platform in a lightweight package suited to modern tactical rifle configurations.
